'''Statue Mario''' (also known as '''Mario Statue'''<ref> | '''Statue Mario''' (also known as '''Mario Statue'''<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Mario Paint'' Player's Guide. Page 60.</ref> or a '''Statue'''<ref>[http://s3.amazonaws.com/szmanuals/dcd9a6c9d88820c86fbc08e9ab3be938 ''Super Mario All-Stars'' instruction booklet], page 34.</ref>) is a derivative form of [[Tanooki Mario]] that debuted in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. While in this form, the Mario Bros. are invulnerable to all enemies, though they are immobile. | ||
In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', this form resembles {{wp|Kṣitigarbha#In Japan|Kṣitigarbha}}, the protector of travelers and the guardian of souls, who is known as ''Daigan Jizō Bosatsu'' in Japan. | In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', this form resembles {{wp|Kṣitigarbha#In Japan|Kṣitigarbha}}, the protector of travelers and the guardian of souls, who is known as ''Daigan Jizō Bosatsu'' in Japan. | ||

In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Tanooki Mario can become Statue Mario by holding {{button|Paddown}} and pressing {{button|nes|B}} at the same time. As a statue, Tanooki Mario cannot move, but he cannot be hurt either, and if he uses this ability in the air, he can defeat many enemies, instantly destroying all [[Goomba]]s and enemies with throwable shells (like [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, and [[Spiny|Spinies]]). The statue can also stomp previously unstompable enemies like [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Big Piranha Plant|Piranhacus Giganticus]]es, [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Trap]]s, [[Spiny Egg]]s, [[Thwomp]]s, [[Lava Bubble|Podoboo]]s, [[Fire Snake|Firesnake]]s, and [[Chain Chomp]]s. | In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Tanooki Mario can become Statue Mario by holding {{button|Paddown}} and pressing {{button|nes|B}} at the same time.

The Statue form is also the only way to destroy [[Roto-Disc]]s and [[Burner|Rocket Engine]] flames. Statue Mario sinks rapidly underwater, and can even oppose some pipes' upward currents. This allows Mario to stomp [[Lava Lotus]]es, [[Blooper|Bloober]]s and fish enemies underwater. [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]] is the only fish that Mario cannot stomp on, and the only enemy that can defeat him in that form by eating him. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', [[tornado]]es can turn Statue Mario back into Tanooki Mario on contact. He can still turn into the statue while in the tornado, but it does not free him nor have any desirable effect. Statue Mario also automatically reverts to Tanooki form after five seconds. | The Statue form is also the only way to destroy [[Roto-Disc]]s and [[Burner|Rocket Engine]] flames.

In the NES version's ending, a Koopa Troopa suspiciously looks at Statue Mario during [[Sky Land]]'s segment. | |||

*While the form itself does not appear in the game, in the [[World 6-Bowser's Castle|final]] [[World Star-Castle|levels]] of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', the [[Koopalings]] show up and try to turn Mario/Luigi into stone with a blinding light from the [[Koopa Clown Car]]. Unlike the proper Statue form, this state is involuntary and serves as a hindrance, which Mario/Luigi must avoid by hiding behind walls in the background.
